Long time to post
think the last few days it has been taking
along time to post replies to messages. I did a couple
of replies and it took two days for them to show up.
Well as long as they get there. I know that the
initial weight lost is more in the first month, but I
must have been pretty dehydrated when I went into the
hospital with my infection because I weight 5 lbs more
when I was discharged 3 days later than when I was
admitted. I have lost 32lbs total so far, does that seem to
be on track? I know this is an off subject but has
anyone had trouble with constipation associated any
particular food? I had a bad night couldn’t sleep and sick
in the stomach, not nausia, but sick. I’m guessing
that might be the problem. If I don’t go by tomorrow
I’ll have to take something, I really don’t want to
have to go that route. I had a good Easter, was able
to eat ham, potatoes; boy that tasted good. Hope
everyone had a nice Easter and remeber HE IS RISEN. God
Bless. Corinna

i Corinna, glad to hear you had a good Easter!
In regards to your comment about constipation. My
doctor said that most likely I’d suffer from that for a
while after surgery, however he also said some people
actually have the opposite effect. I’ve also been told
that it may take a year for our bodies to become
accustom to our new stomach before a "regular" routine
happens…if you get my drift?<br>One very embarrassing
subject that I haven’t seen brought up here (and I hope
I’m not stepping out of line with this) is the
subject of good hygiene.<br>How is the world does a
person properly get cleaned up after using the toilet?
I’ve heard some hum-dinger stories about this.
Admittedly I laughed a bit at first, but this a reality of
surgery, you don’t move so well after surgery, no bending
and twisting, if you know what I mean! And for us
gals out here, is it true what I’ve read about
starting your monthly cycle right after surgery?! I have
this to look forward to also!? <br>Well any
suggestions from anyone? I hope I didn’t offend anyone with
my questions!<br>God bless….Wendy
